Rany Jazayerli wrote an excellent article for the Ringer posted here after the AFCCG about the trials of Chiefs fans. Here's his follow up on the experience of seeing a second KC team overcome highly improbable odds to become champions. We are now playing with house money as KC fans, as he puts it. Enjoy.
"Once before I had seen a team win a championship this way, time and again waiting until almost all hope had been extinguished before calmly and ruthlessly snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. I had made my peace that I would never experience that kind of a championship again. And yet here I am, walking around in a daze, a goofy grin permanently plastered on my face, not entirely convinced that my eyes and ears aren’t lying to me about what just happened."
